Here's a couple of reviews of the new Union Made CD:

Union Made - Hard Grace
Insurgence Records

Union Made is a new antifascist hardcore band formed out of two older ones out of Montreal, Street Troopers and Face 2 Hate. Insurgence Records, for those who don't know, is an antifascist record label out of Toronto. Good f--king album, Good f--king band. When you play an album from a band you never heard before three times not just within the day but within a three hour period, as some of us did, this is something folks need to listen to. It is straight up hardcore, the kind of hardcore that you are used to from the NYC bands of yesteryear. That means it's hard - hard as hell. If the progressive political scene approached things with the intensity of this album, there would be no bosses! There are a number of songs that stand out like "Products" and "Back it Up", but truth be told, there isn't a crappy song on this thing! In other words, this is a must buy! (One People's Project)

Union Made - Hard Grace
Insurgence Records

Most hardcore bands aren’t about much, except their lives or lifestyles. Not that there’s nothing inherently wrong with that – I’d like to think that hardcore is democratic enough that anyone with enough heart and
commitment can mold it to whatever suits them, except white power, of course.
It gets a little tiresome, though, when another tough guy clone band comes along and produces more CDs about the same crews stabbing the same
backs over the same scene politics – it gets a little old.
That is why Union Made’s debut album, Hard Grace, is a much-needed breath of fresh air.
Simply put, this album rules. Chock full of thirteen tracks of Quebecois hardcore goodness, this Montreal four-piece combines old school Oi-inspired tough hardcore with angry, lyrical righteousness with a left
wing, pro-working class tilt. Definitely for fans of Sick Of It All and Ramallah.
Union Made is made up of members of previous members of Montreal veteran acts, Street Troopers and Fate 2 Hate, who are in turn veterans of the street-level anti-Nazi political scenes: in other words, true, 100 percent real hardcore, dudes who mean what they say and can back it up.
Do yourself a favor; get your hands on Hard Grace, see these guys when they come to your shit town, or better yet, book a Union Made show in said shit town. (Hardcore Times)
